El Shaddai: Ascension Of The Metatron

A hunt for angels provides the plot for a game inspired by some scriptural apocrypha.

At the end, Shaddai feels somewhat less than the sum of its parts. As graceful as it is by design, it’s equally cumbersome in storytelling, never choosing between oblique understatement and exposition-heavy grandstanding. One or the other would work,...

El Shaddai: The Ascension of the Metatron Review

A visually unique experiment in abstract game design.

El Shaddai: The Ascension of the Metatron feels like the most unconventional action game I've ever played -- this is especially true when I examine each part of the experience. Visually, it strikes me as one of the most colorful examples of surrealist...

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron Review

El Shaddai is an ambitious and beautiful-looking game. It's too bad its great aesthetics are ruined by incoherent gameplay and structure.

I never developed a cadence while playing El Shaddai. The game has absolutely no rhythm. And most importantly, even after beating it, I never felt like I really got anywhere. I never felt like I excelled at the game even though I saw it through to the...

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron

From its...let's just say interesting characters to the unique and breathtaking art style, El Shaddai is a game that refuses to be pigeon holed, and as a result, carves out quite an identity for itself. El Shaddai is like nothing else on the market.

I want an unlimited health cheat so I can get past the tricky and frustrating sections easier, and how about a teleport cheat to get past the tricky platforming sections. I also wouldn't mind playing as some of the game's fallen angels, as they were...

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron

It can feel a little dated in terms of its approach to combat, but the game is so beautiful, so different, so utterly weird and wonderful that this is of no real consequence.

Incredible art style(s) ; Interesting blend of mechanics

Dated combat ; Slightly cumbersome platforming

It's a collection of little things that make El Shaddai such a memorable experience; the way your game is saved through Lucifel, who makes a phone call to God to 'report your progress'; the way Amaros, one of the Fallen Angels, struts about in the...

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron- PS3

Granted, the combat and platforming elements won't win any prizes for originality or complexity, and the weird, disjointed storyline is difficult to follow at the best of times; however the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and the striking...
